The front cnd of this pipe is con invented cento provide nected to the vertical section of pipe J, by means of another elbow, said pipe extending above the basin at a suitable distance to create draft for the firebox. The above dcscribcd pipe-connections in their entirety form's draft-flue, the longitudinalsection thereof also assisting in tempering the water, owing to its submerged location therein.

The front of the fire-box portion of the basin is closed by a metallic head-plate K, which plateis secured to the tank by bolts (1' that are embedded into the cement and provided. with retaining nuts b that serve to hold the head-plate in position. The said hcarbplate has a circular flanged fuel-onening therein that is closed by slip-cover L having a series of draf'vvcnts c, which vents are controlled by a pivoted sector (1 that is provided with a vcnbopening e, as shown.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a cement basin or tank is formed consisting of a one-piece structure having an integral firebox, the roof of which serves as a bottom for the watcncompartment of the tank, through which radiation of heat is distributed tothc water. The head-platc and damper arrangement described however may be varied in mechanical detail without departure from my invention.

ll claim:

A. stock water-tank com .irising a ccment basin having an a )ertured i ottoxn, side and end-walls, the side-wall and rear end-wall being extended below the bottom to form a firebox, a longitudinal metallic pipc-section dis osed: above the bottom and in waterti t connection with the aperture thcrein adjacent to said rear cnd-wal-l, a vcrtically disposed pipe-section extending from the longitudinalsection adjacent to the front end-wall ol" the basin and terminating above the same, and a vented metallic closure for the front end of the firebox secured to walls of the basin at the front ol" same.

i In testimony that'l. claim the foregoing l have herounto set my hand at Glcnboulah, irythc county of Shcboygan and State of Wisconsin, in the )TQSBHCG of two witnesses.
